Photo: Marois arrives in Kuujjuaq

Quebec Premier Pauline Marois takes a moment to chat with Kativik Regional Government chairperson Maggie Emudluk at the Kuujjuaq airport on Sept. 12. Marois and a group of her ministers and staff met with Nunavik leaders Sept. 12. “Our presence in Nunavik will fulfill the commitment of my government to make aboriginal issues a government priority. Much has been accomplished in recent months, and we intend to continue these nation-to-nation exchanges with Inuit to improve their quality of life,” Marois said in a Sept. 12 Quebec government news release. On Sept. 13, after making some early-morning announcements in Kuujjuaq, Marois and her delegation travel to Kangiqsualujjuaq to visit the Kuururjuaq provincial park and officially open its interpretation centre.
